I am always amazed how quickly a term passes and believe this is because we pack so much into each school day. In addition to the regular learning that takes place every day in every classroom, in the past 10 weeks:
- We have welcomed our PreK and Kindergarten students and seen them grow in confidence and skills.
- Students participated in the annual Junior School Swimming Carnival, school sport, HillsZone competitions, Kindergarten to Year 2 gymnastics, Year 3 swimming lessons, and the K-2 Fun Run.
- Students and teachers danced at the disco, and some have started rehearsing for the Wakakirri dance performance.
- Music lessons began, and choirs and bands performed at the Celebration Assembly and Easter Chapel.
- Students shared their learning in assemblies and led singing and prayers in chapel.
- Extracurricular activities become part of our timetable and students enthusiastically participated in a wide range of activities.
- Year 3 and Year 5 students participated in NAPLAN testing.
- Year 6 enjoyed a wonderful three days in Canberra where they impressively represented our College as they learned about democracy and how the Australian government operates.
I am so thankful for each of the teachers in the Junior School. They work diligently and passionately to ensure that their students are learning in engaging, safe and caring environments. The teachers closely collaborate to ensure that their students receive the best teaching and learning. Over the term they participate in professional learning to further develop their teaching practice.
